[Verse] Death came knocking on my door one night Dark cloak swaying in the pale moon's light His voice a whisper in the howling wind But I stood my ground I would not give in [Verse 2] He reached out with a skeletal hand Promises of shadow felt like quicksand Told him she was mine till the end of time Even death has no right to cross that line [Chorus] You can't take her from me not tonight I’ll fight the darkness with all my might She's my light in this world of gray Death turn around and walk away [Verse 3] Clock struck midnight but I didn't flinch His hollow eyes shiver without a pinch In the dance of life I claimed my stake Even death itself can make mistakes [Bridge] He paused and for a moment I swore I saw a tear in his eyes something more He turned to leave with a solemn nod And I held my love like a lightning rod [Chorus] You can't take her from me not tonight I’ll fight the darkness with all my might She's my light in this world of gray Death turn around and walk away
